Chapter 1544 - The Only Failure

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, in public, He Zhichu had stepped on the Director of the Qin private hospital group, literally.

Qin Yaoguang was so embarrassed that she almost fainted.

He Zhichu looked elegant and refined, but he had extraordinary strength. The military boots stepped on her face and made her unable to move.

She wanted to cry for help, but her face was stepped on by He Zhichu’s feet, so she could only make a sound.

She tried her best to open her eyes wide and look in He Chengjian’s direction. She only felt slightly better when she saw him looking at He Zhichu in shock.

He Zhichu didn’t show any signs of mercy. He stomped on Qin Yaoguang’s face and crushed it a few more times. His voice was like it was squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth, and it carried deep hatred.

“... Are you really her f * cking mother?! Your daughter just had surgery and is still lying on the hospital bed. Yet you want to donate her body for an experiment?! Don’t tarnish the word selfless. How are you selfless in any way?!”

“If you’re really selfless, donate your own body for an experiment! Don’t donate your own daughter’s body!” He Zhichu was extremely angry. He flew up and kicked at Qin Yaoguang.

“Zhichu!” He Chengjian finally spoke.

His guards rushed forward and lifted He Zhichu up. Only then did Qin Yaoguang escape his violent kick. She scrambled to her feet.

“Brother He! What did I do wrong? !” Qin Yaoguang cried as she pounced on he chengjian.

He Chengjian stepped aside to avoid Qin Yaoguang. He sighed and said, “You’ve gone too far. Nianzhi’s survival is still unknown. What have you done?”

He believed in her medical skills, but no longer believed in her character as a mother.

Qin Yaoguang had been cold to Gu Nianzhi in the past, but she hadn’t been this cold-hearted.

Qin Yaoguang felt even more wronged. “How could I have thought so much? I was just thinking logically. You don’t have to believe in my medical skills, but you have to believe in my judgment. Nianzhi really won’t live to see tomorrow...”

“If she doesn’t live to see tomorrow, you’ll have to die with her.” He Zhichu broke free from the two guards who were holding him up. He adjusted his military uniform and said coldly, “I’m not joking. If you don’t believe me, you can wait here.”

Qin Yaoguang’s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.

He Chengjian frowned and reprimanded He Zhichu. “What nonsense are you spouting? I know you’re very sad and angry, but that’s not a reason for you to vent your anger on an innocent person!”

“She’s innocent? Didn’t she say that she’s Nianzhi’s biological mother? A biological mother wanted to use her daughter as a dead person for experiments when she was still alive. Is this what humans do?” He Zhichu snorted as he patted the dust off his hands. “She said that she would get a doctor to come over for the surgery, but he hasn’t come yet. If I hadn’t found a doctor because of the situation, Nianzhi might really have been ‘donated’ by her! — Does this count as her treating human life like dirt? Or is she using someone else to kill her?!”

Qin Yaoguang was speechless. The corners of her mouth twitched twice as she said to He Chengjian, “Brother He, it seems that Ah-Chu has a deep misunderstanding of me. I’d better not get involved in this matter. If there’s any misunderstanding between you father and son, please resolve it yourself. I’ll be leaving first.”

She turned around and left in a hurry. Her back was slightly flustered and pitiful.

He Zhichu glared at her back and snorted coldly. He turned to He Chengjian and said in an even colder voice, “General He, you’re so powerful. If we’re talking about using someone else to kill someone, it should be you.”

“Zhichu!” He Chengjian roared, “Come with me!”

“No, I have to stay here until Nianzhi is out of danger tomorrow.” He Zhichu refused to leave the entrance of Gu Nianzhi’s intensive care unit.

He Chengjian had no choice. He waved his hand and ordered the guards to guard the two ends of the corridor without allowing anyone to come up.

There were only the two of them in the entire corridor.

He Chengjian looked at He Zhichu and said regretfully,”... Zhichu, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect...”

“Are you admitting that you were the one who ordered the shooting?!” He Zhichu gritted his teeth and glared at He Chengjian. “Why did you have to drag Nianzhi into this? How many times have I told you that you don’t have to get involved in the matter between Nianzhi and me?!”

He Chengjian’s brows were deeply furrowed. “Ah-Chu, I really didn’t expect Nianzhi to take the bullet for someone... I told her in advance and didn’t lie to her. She promised to cooperate with me and deal with that person...”

He glanced at Gu Nianzhi’s intensive care unit.

He Zhichu knew He Chengjian was talking about the Ace of the Far East, Peter aka Huo Shaoheng.

His cool and cold demeanor keeping others at a distance, he folded his arms. “Why are you going against that person? We’re obviously working together. Do you think I’ll believe that?”

The lines of his jaw unyielding, He Chengjian pursed his lips.

He Chengjian felt very uncomfortable watching He Zhichu distance himself from him because of hatred.

However, he was his and Qin Suwen’s only son. No matter how heinous his actions were, he wouldn’t be willing to criticize him.

However, this son of his, who was able to take things as they were, had repeatedly backed down in front of Gu Nianzhi. He had no bottom line.

He Chengjian looked into his eyes and said softly,”... Don’t tell me you don’t suspect the identity of that person at all?”

“Suspect what?” He Zhichu didn’t think much of it. “What are you trying to say? That was confirmed by the Soviet Union. What else are you suspecting?”

He Chengjian was a suspicious person by nature. Other than his wife and son, he wouldn’t completely trust anyone else, even if it was a personal letter from the head of the Soviet Union.

The whole world knew the background of the head of the Soviet Union.

He had to be careful and cautious.

“I’ve been sending people to monitor him,” He Chengjian said honestly. “From the moment he stepped into our country, every word, action, and movement of his were under my surveillance.”

“Then you don’t know that he deliberately faked his shot to get Linda and Dresden to leave early, but he himself changed his location?”

He Chengjian nodded and said seriously, “I knew.”

“Is that so?” He Zhichu sneered and looked away. “What happened in the end? Like those Americans, your target couldn’t have been Dresden, right?”

“Ever since Dresden was interviewed by the foreign media and exposed on Twitter, I haven’t believed him.” He Chengjian had noticed that something was wrong with Dresden even earlier than Gu Nianzhi, but he had never mentioned it to anyone else. Instead, he had played along. He was negotiating terms with the Soviets while deploying his own operation.

He Zhichu’s operation team was only on the surface. He Chengjian had another operation team working in the dark. Not only were they monitoring Dresden, but they were also monitoring the KGB members that had arrived in their country. This was especially true for the Ace of the Far East and the long-gone Bombshell of the Far East, Linda.

It could be said that He Chengjian’s plan had been very successful. The only mistake he had made was that he had misjudged Gu Nianzhi.

Even he was afraid of this spoiled girl when she became ruthless.

The Americans had used Dresden to bait the big fish of Huaxia Empire and the Soviet Union. He and the Soviet Union had their own plans, both to cooperate with each other and to oppose each other.

This was the nature of the relationship between countries. It was impossible for people to be honest with each other.

If the relationship between nations was treated as a personal relationship, that person would be a retarded fool.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What does this have to do with Peter?” He Zhichu didn’t understand why his father had used Gu Nianzhi to test Peter. “The Ace of the Far East did not appear recently. Long before we went to the parallel dimension, the Ace of the Far East’s reputation was already very well-known internationally. What exactly are you thinking?”

He Chengjian insisted, “No matter who he is, he has once again become your competitor. Didn’t you see? At that time, Nianzhi went to talk to him, but he actually left his bodyguard and walked out. — I can’t tolerate him just because of this.”

This meant that the Ace of the Far East had already fallen for Gu Nianzhi. Otherwise, with his usual personality and behavior, how could he have made such a mistake?

He Zhichu let out a long sigh and leaned against the external wall of the intensive care unit. He waved his hand. “You can go back now. I don’t have the energy to argue with you about who’s right and who’s wrong. We’ll talk about everything when Nianzhi wakes up tomorrow.”

He Chengjian was originally worried that He Zhichu would make a big scene with him, but now that he wasn’t making a big scene and only looked disheartened, he was even more worried.

He might as well make a scene with him!

However, He Zhichu did not speak anymore. He leaned against the wall alone and started smoking.

He chengjian accompanied him for a while before he got up and left. He said, “I’m going back. If you need anything, call me. If you need a doctor...”

Not even moving his eyes, He Zhichu did not speak.

He Chengjian turned around and left. His tall back was a little hunched, as if he could not bear the burden.

He was a general of the Military Supreme Council and the highest leader of a country. His travel was a matter of national importance. It was impossible for him to stay as long as he wanted.

Soon, He Chengjian’s motorcade and guards escorted him out of the West Camp Hospital and back to the airport.

He would take a special plane back to the capital overnight to preside over the meeting tomorrow.

In the parking lot of West Camp Hospital, Lu Yuan and Lu Jin were sitting in their cars.

Lu Yuan looked at the monitor screen in his hand and said, “He Chengjian and Qin Yaoguang have both left.”

He turned to ask Lu Jin, “What about you? Are you coming or not?”

Lu Jin shook his head. “I’m going to wait here for Nianzhi to wake up.”

“Will she wake up soon?” Lu Yuan was very worried. “The gunshot wound is so serious, and she went through a major surgery. Under normal circumstances, she would need a few days to wake up, right?”

“Don’t you see who did the surgery on her? She will be out of danger, and she will definitely wake up tomorrow morning. What I am worried about is the problem of her recovering after she wakes up.” Lu Jin looked at Lu Yuan with his bright eyes. “Quickly think of a way to let her go back to C City with you to recover.”

Lu Yuan was stunned. “Me? Think of a way to let her go back with me to recover? ! If you can think so much, why don’t you go to heaven!”

He wasn’t related to her, so how could he let her go back with him? !
